The annual food drive sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers takes place this weekend.

Food items can be put in a bag and left at the mailbox Saturday prior to the day’s normal mail delivery.

Carriers are looking for nonperishable items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice. They ask that no one donate items that have expired or those in glass containers.

The event is co-sponsored by the United States Postal Service.
